MRS. KATIE LAKE GARNER.

1t was with a thrill of sad emotion that !
read the brief notice telling that on Saturday
night, Nov. 9TH, 1887, in Grenada, Miss, the
beautiful spirit of Katie Lake Garner Slipped
its fleshy bonds and went home. The transi.
lion from an earthly to n heavenly abode was
with her but the passing from one home Of

aration from them. When but II child she
connected herself by membership with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and thus early
became a worker Ia tile vineyard. Neglect
ing no duty, sighting no demand, screriiil
no bond, she was a beautiful cxcmplar'o OF
what the Christians life should be. Allowing

name of Mount, living in ~Tallahatch-
lie county, near New Hope. On
Tuesday last q couple of gentlemen
from Ialahatchie, accompanied by
our %jaiier, visited Billy Baker in his
new quarters, when he Baker made
a voluntary confession regarding the
attempted u%ssination, which was in
substance about as follows: He and
James Baker and Joe l'ribble and
another colored man We're on hand
at the time the shooting occurred; he
had Il few minutes previous thereto
passed up the road near the scene of
the tragedy, and found Joe Iribble
and mt or two others standing in
the road talking: Joe had his shot

and insisted Oh him billy assisting
him; Billy at first declined, but final
~ consented to go along; that Joe

The District favored the re-appointnenl OF

opinion ofour contemporary, we still think
rs we did when we wrote the article from
which ii dlSscnts. Indeed, we have had the
fact when we alleged, proven 10 our s~atisfac-
ton, ana while We admit thai, the Governor,
IN making judicial appointments, shoGltl
give great weight to The rccoinnendntionso of
members Of Tho bar, we 10 not think th0sa,or

profession should be entirely diSrngarded nut
add toll Ia weight Of the others. IN our for
mer article We referred very kindly 10 Mr..
| Mclean, for, although we have no personal
acquaintance witt him, we have heard him
spoken of in very high terms, both AS n law.
yer and a gentleman, and his father was one
Of the friends of our hoylnod. Besides all
this, as we stated before, Mr.. Mclean has
Watitt friends IN this county and tliey are our
friends also, personal and political. or
course, therefore, we could neither speak nor
feel towards him otherwise than kindly. |
But, as an old lawyer, we have never seen the
wisdom Of chadging Judges every term, or of
uhhtlhg the tenure OF the office to Il single
term. 1t is true six years Is quite a long term,
bul ii is just long enough to dissipate and de-
stroy the practice of an attorney, which. after
it is distributed among other lawyers, cannot
be recovered In six more years, If in the re-
mainder of a lifetime. Indeed, we have
heard more than ono fudge Say that the only
way a man could get into good practice again
after he had retired from the bench, was to
seek a new homc and new fields. If we are
not mistaken, Mr.. Mclean is Il young man.,
enjoys IL good practice at the bar and
can well afford to wait, For the sake of his !
.amcnted father, as well as his own, and that T
fits friends. who are his friends also. the
would be glad TO aid in his promo ,
ion, and il hopes vet to be able to do so, hui =,
Il present ii lavors the disappointment OIL
Judge Roane.
The above, which we clip from the n
Reporter, is well worthy of '
consideration. We think that the !"
nam body of the people, as repre-
ented by Grand Juries and County D
Alliances, are entitled to some con- d.
liberation as to their choice for so Sc
important a position as the Circuit
udgeship. As to the personal quail j.,
iications Of Mr.. Mclean for this inn ~
position, no man eau doubt At
hat he is eminently fitted for the OIL
lace. He stands ut the top round of
ne ladder, in his profession, and has j,
bright future before him. We Ia
houid he proud ofhis promotion and NJ
lad to be of any service to him
herein, but, like the Reporter, we

tied to another term, and we have ~
